The Captain of the Port is going to be releasing a statement that will require vessels to take 2 tug tethered escorts (inbound and outbound) calling on Nucor, Ineos and Nexans for ships greater than 10,000 GT and greater than 25’ draft.  All ATBs which fall under these parameters will require a 1 tug escort (both inbound and outbound).  Currently all arrivals are being evaluated by Sector Charleston to determine which vessels will need an escort according to the above parameters.  We will share the Captain of the Port order as soon as it is released.  The escort is required between the most seaward portion of Range Charlie (Buoy R “70”) and the north end of Pier X-ray.  We are reacting to this news as is everyone else and recognize that this is a new procedure and will affect operations at the above terminals as well as tug availability throughout the harbor.  This information will be part of a forthcoming COTP order and ultimately codified in the US Coast Pilot.  We will continue to keep everyone informed as conflicts arise and make proposals as how to best serve you and our customers.  Pre-planning maneuvers is obviously in everyone’s best interest so please feel free to communicate any news you may feel is important to ship traffic with our office so we can adequately respond appropriately.

Weather / Marine Zone Forecast

MARINE WEATHER - 1036 AM EDT Thu Oct 9 2025
 
 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front over the S waters
will continue to move S today, stalling over or near the far S
waters tonight through Fri night. High pressure builds S behind
the front, resulting in counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the
potential for steeper, breaking waves. High pressure then
continues over the N and central waters into Fri night, and then
over the far N waters into Sat. To the S, low pressure should
form offshore of the E Florida coast along the stalled front Fri
night. The low will deepen and expand as it moves N late Fri
night through Sun, eventually being centered off of the mid-
Atlantic coast Sun night. The broad, complex low will extend over
much of the east coast Sun night and Mon, with the broad low
finally starting to shift E Mon night. Mariners must monitor
later forecasts on the coastal system, and begin to consider
avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration event for
the east coast, impactful to the mariner.
